3. State the Affiliations in the header as follows: name of department (or research unit), University, Country.

b. However, if there are page references to these sources please arrange like this: “X showed that Y ([1: 9; 2: 25-30].”

11. Longer quotation: if the quotation is longer than 2 and ½ lines, use a block quotation (no quotation marks at the beginning and end, indented as text block) but leave the font at the same size as the main text.
